Ivan Posted March 8, 2011 Report Share Posted March 8, 2011 After reading what Marv has put regarding above topic and protecting our sponsors/advertisers it seems there are one or two companies getting free advertising from members banners where they have had cars mapped or work done by companies that are not sponsors/advertisers,by all means lets here of companies that do good work but to save guard ours sponsors/advertisers should this be allowed to be advertised in banners?

Ivan Posted March 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2011 So whats the point in having paid sponsors we all might as well put a company in our banner and then no one will pay for sponsorship of the site or to advertise as they can get it free in some ones banner,then where are all the funds going to come from to help the site grow? And why make rules if everyone is just going to ignore them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted March 8, 2011 Report Share Posted March 8, 2011 Its certainly something that needs looking at and I see both sides of the arguement and the last thing we want to do is start sensoring every thankyou, great service thread or signature.I've brought it up with Marv and Azz and we'll certainly take input from the sponsors and we'll try to come to a decision that suits and benifits all.

hendo Posted March 8, 2011 Report Share Posted March 8, 2011 Hence the 2 question marks! Well spotted young Mike for what its worth, this was discussed a while back and the rules somewhat relaxed. I had in my sig a piccy of the Slag as she was when i got her, stickered up with Xspec stickers on, a non forum sponsor. The debate i had was graphics on cars is a form of advertising, fair enough.Put a pic of say Alspiders car on his sig: Subaru, Sparco, Brembo, Alpine, HKS...etc etc dont sponsor the site-where do ya stop??Live and let live is my attitude, if ya get a good service from someone, why not let people know-its a democratic country-or is the site to become a closed shop? So long as it dont get massively out of hand, wheres the harm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whiteknuckleride Posted March 8, 2011 Report Share Posted March 8, 2011 good point well put i sayits a balancing act and i reckon as long as the actual sponsors are happy and not complaining then no one else need worry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scatty Posted March 9, 2011 Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 hendo, the voice of reasoning....well said... by me having scoobyworld written in tiny writing, i hardly think the clinic or area52 will lose any sleep or business from it.its a car club for like minded people..and thats all it is!!!!!!!as greg said, the sponsors have their own section to promote and highlight work and offers they have available. whether they do that or not is entirely up to them, but thats what they pay for im sure. if you arent a paying sponsor then you cant. But im a paying member, why cant i let people know where i take my car. i pay my membership, surely im entitled to my say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
